Brother, you are already preaching the message Choshin taught since many years. Your work from 2015 onward on the net is what got me back into karate. I'm in a 3K club right now but each Sunday we have three hours of free practice and I'm working at getting people to adopt a more fierce attitude bit by bit. Thank you for all that you share, it's been an ongoing inspiration and motivation for me to train.
@@KarateBreakdown Yeah, you've been at it for a while! The pandemic put a wrench in a lot of things, but it seems like you've found your groove again and this channel has what, like 50K subs at the moment? That's not nothing!
Didn't Funakoshi or somebody say that karate is for self defence against an untrained opponent. That it's not for fighting against another trained fighter?
Anko Itosu "Karate is not merely practiced for your own benefit; it can be used to protect one’s family or master. It is not intended to be used against a single assailant but instead as a way of avoiding a fight should one be confronted by a villain or ruffian."
Like your video. Karate has to be rediscovered , period. For me It's a personal journey you're on. It's going to be different for each individual. You have to go outside the box sometimes to progress. Kata moves can be interpreted as grappling for example. Always be thinking in your practice, my advice.
A regular speculation on an old idealistic idea. What I know for sure is that following such an advice to obtain that power won't let you get closer to it.
Very informative. For us fish swimming up stream, it’s sometimes hard to get that mentality if the Dojo doesn’t spend much time with Kata. I think this is why we have the water down karate we have today, because we don’t focus on the basics. Reminds me of the Marine Corps…. Why do we have to polish boots, polish our bass, and take off loose hanging threads from our uniform….what does that have to do with war fighting? its all about “attention to detail” and that is a foundational building block. We have generations coming up with the ranks (belts) with sub par kata. It’s the foundational block and I don’t think that should be sub par. It should be the most detailed thing a karateka strives to achieve and refines it for his body type. Have an understanding as to why each movement is being done. Not just to do it to ‘rank’ up and then never do it again.
You would’ve had great convos with my sensei - I remember he made us line with with everyone’s toes in line because of the attention to detail you mentioned. And never coming to class with a wrinkled gi (I laugh cause my gi is super wrinkled in this video! Ha) If you’ve never seen this clip - this is him ruclips.net/video/tDyEFYc6YbA/видео.htmlsi=PNYNao4lnd4H0urw
Agreed! It’s easy to conform with what’s currently around you, hopefully these videos are little reminders (even for myself) to remember the original intent of karate
Let see how your karate goes against muay thai, preaching some old-ass concept does not mean anything. What we need is real results, watered-down karate only happen in Shotokan circle, where kata and preacher constantly talk about old master teaching this and that. While Kyokushin has been tackle all aspect of fighting, branch out to be more than anything Mas Oyama can think of
So true lam old school japan karate 1930 this stupid bouncing point touch karate is ajoke look japan karate takes head of lwas trained by japanese japan is the greatest karate my japan master was 7 dan he died at 57 from cancer he made me the man lam today yes you kepo usa karate end parker put japan is the best subcribed to yourcchannel love lt

Love this! It is the hardest thing to work on and even when you get it, you sometimes forget it.

Hey, can you come to a seminar we have in 2025? It would be an honor to have you as a guest.
That sounds awesome! Where are you guys located? Shoot me an email and we can definitely connect karatebreakdown@gmail.com
Now how would one work like the dynamic tension parts of Kate like this for example San chin lata in some styles
@@ronsinglrtonjr9019 Holding light kettlebells or dumbbells, the okinanwas had it right with their “ishi sashi” or stone padlocks
@@KarateBreakdown So do the tension moves holding weights
Oh one more on tension lata some like isshinryu and goju ryu have open hand tension like seiuchin kata how could weight be used?
